What's the state of Palm<->Linux these days?



I have two Palm Pilots these days, both are happy to IR sync to my old
Sony notebook and jpilot, but I haven't figured how to make them work
with my new notebook.  (New notebook has no IR, a Sigmatel IR dongle
is recognized as an IRDA device, but I can't figure out how to turn it
into a suitable character device for jpilot to talk to.)

Why do I have two Palms?  One is also my phone, but it makes
mysterious 10-second data calls on its own; I don't trust it.  The
second is a cheap Zire 31 that I keep mostly incommunicado so I can
trust it to keep all my passwords--encrypted with Gnu Keyring.  I can
backup it with an SD card.
